You beat AQ/KQ/KK. See what im saying? When the board pairs, I don't think my 1 pair is any good. If I bet and get a call, its more likely that OPP has one of the hands we beat. If I bet and get raised, we can dump safely knowing that we are smoked. And hopefully if opp has Jx, we can bet him off his crappy kicker.
in all likelihood, none of those hands in the first group are getting chased off
I doubt villain would limp call qq or jj, and i don't think jx raises flop. Maybe you disagree with those statements but thats what i thought at the time and thats still what i think now.

I do agree that QJ and 22 are very possible and probably likely, so are you basically saying, dont go broke on this hand to any of the last 3 hands b/c u think the first 2 are more likely?
